NSA on VPN solutions: use only IKE/IPsec

All that said, with the work being done in OpenVPN with the Data Channel Offload (DCO), it would probably be easier to get hardware support. The DCO implementations (ovpn-dco, ovpn-dco-win) offloads the data channel crypto operations to the virtual network driver, so the encryption/decryption/packet authentication happens entirely in the kernel space - which results in a noticeable performance boost. The tasks these DCO drivers does should be possible to more easily implement inside some dedicated hardware. But it won't be cheap.
